Well, I guess what I meant was, it doesn't give automatic firmware notifications like the other players do (if setup for that, at least). I think I worded my question incorrectly.

I guess it doesn't, because I downloaded the firmware and updated my player. If there were automatic notifications, I'm guessing it would have occurred by now, given the date listed on that file and how long I've had the Momitsu.

So, does anyone have any idea what the update does? I don't notice any added features, so perhaps it's just compatibility with certain discs, etc. that it fixes?

Airboss, did you ever get the firmware update for your 905? My 805 required it. The latter productions runs of this series might not have needed it? I'm not sure. I got my 805 early and had to get it as I was using it with a Panasonic 30 then. If you had the PS3 back then, maybe you didn't experience the DTS Boom or pop at random spots in several Fox BD's...? I'm not sure what all the equipment combination are that were affected. If you didn't get the firmware update, that looms as one of the possible culprits.

Ok, upgraded the firmware on my Onkyo and problem solved, no more DTS Boom or pop.

Now I have another question. I set my Momitsu BDP for SD Region Free and Blu Ray Region B but when I shut it off it reverts back to SD Region 1 and BR Region A, is this the norm? If I set it to SD Region Free and BR Region Free will it stay there or do you have to reset it each time you turn it on?

Once again, watched a SD DVD tonight using the BDP-899 and the up-converted image was outstanding!! This is becoming my favorite upconverting player.

The player reverts back to Region A for blu-ray when it is powered off, since there is no equivalent to Region "0" for BD. If you set a code of 97350*, the player will stay in region "0" for SD, meaning that all-region play for SD sticks. And you're right, it's a great player overall, not just for SD!

But Airboss seems to be saying that his player is reverting back to SD Region 1 even after he has set it to SD Region-Free when he powers off the unit, which is not the way it is supposed to work, unless he is mistaken.

I would make sure that the second to last number is "0" again and see what happens. Mine definitely stays region-free for SD after powering off. Maybe he put in a "2", thinking it would stay region 2, or some else like that.

Or perhaps it makes a difference if you turn it off via remote (thereby putting it in "standby" mode) or if you use the indent button on the machine to turn it off?

I just received my Momitsu yesterday morning and have not had much time to play with it yet. I did test out that it does play the extras on "Feast of Love" (aka "Cup of Love") which my PS3 couldn't, and that "The Story of Anvil" will play (supposedly 1080i 50hz). Will probably not get a chance to really watch anything until the weekend.

Yes, I would think that turning the machine off completely via the power button on the front of the unit vs. putting it into standby with the remote could potentially wipe out the region-free setting. In fact, I think I recall that happening to me once, now that you mention it, but I'd have to double check that to say definitively.

I breezed through the manual last night looking for how to check the firmware type. I found nothing. Anybody know how?

Sure,

Go into the "Setup" menu, and scroll down to the "System" settings, which is the second to the last icon on the bottom left. Then, scroll to the right a bit ad move down to where it says "Software Version."

Ok, I checked it again last night and using the remote to turn the unit off the SD code remains intact, just not the BD code. I'll try later tonight and see what happens when the unit loses power (via power button or unplugging).

Not sure what happened the last time I was messing with it but I may have had to unplug it and that could be why I lost both SD and BD codes.

Hi,
I just got my unit and noticed that the picture is much more vivid (the blacks are blaker and whites are whiter - almost oversaturated). Is there a way to adjust it on the unit? I didn't find a way yet...
Any firmware upgrades out there as off yet?
Thanks,
Jacek

I received my player yesterday and I must say, there is no noise at all.
The PQ from BD is really good (on an 80" projector screen).
But I couldn't get the player to play any .ts or .mp4 from disk. Any ideas why?
Or does the player only play files from USB?

The firmware just posted does not fix the problem with T2 Skynet Edition. It still freezes. The firmware seems to have been uploaded to the site recently but if you check the main file it does not seem to be new. I have the original download and the new one posted and all files are the same with the same dates.

The main file is the Linux OS (as squashfs image). But the vmlinuz and .dat are from July.
So there must be some changes
